Definition
To perceive, know, or become aware of something through the senses or mind.
Etymology
Back-formation from cognizance, or direct from Latin cognoscere. This verb was created to match the noun form, following English word-building patterns.
Kelly Says
Cognize is basically the verb form of cognizance, and it's the kind of word that sounds super formal but just means 'to notice or know something'—philosophers prefer it to plain 'know.'
